New Talent’s Award: Celebrating the Future of Design
Three design talents were honored with the title and a travel grant.
The leading magazines within Danish design and interior design in Scandinavia, BO BEDRE and Bolig Magasinet, held an award ceremony during this year's 3daysofdesign.
To celebrate creativity and the future of design, three design talents—consisting of two individuals and a design duo—were awarded the New Talent’s Award.
With the title comes a travel grant of 15,000 DKK.
The money for the travel grants comes from an auction that the two design magazines held a few years back. Leading design companies donated designs, and the income now goes to support new talent. Now that's the kind of circular thinking we like!
This year, the winners were found among the graduating students at the Royal Danish Academy.
The two judges—Erik Rimmer, editor-in-chief of BO BEDRE, and Helle Blok, editor-in-chief of Bolig Magasinet—said about the three winners:
About Trolle Rudebeck Haar:
We are impressed by the way you first worked with models—beautiful black archetypal models of tents. And afterwards, it is very convincing and surprising to discover that you have transformed them into a mobile sauna. So now the world has a sauna that can be moved around—“WOW,” that's all we can say.
About the design duo Jon Hinrik Höskuldsson and Kirstine Nørgaard Sejersen:
We commend the way you first conducted your research on composite materials and the numerous experiments in which you mixed different materials. The final result, Bundle, is a very lightweight chair made of thermo-pressed flax fibers and plastic, where the amount of the latter material is significantly reduced—well done.
About Thomas Woltmann:
Does anyone remember that there is an old ochre mine in Central Jutland? We know this now thanks to Thomas Woltmann's almost archaeological study, where he reopened the mine in Løvskal and uses the beautiful colors in a dazzling installation. Your cabinet, Thomas, is a masterpiece containing so many stories about colors, nature, and craftsmanship.
